Delias duris is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1861. It is found in the Australasian realm, [2] where it is only known from Ceram Island, Indonesia.
William Chapman Hewitson was a British naturalist. A wealthy collector, Hewitson was particularly devoted to Coleoptera (beetles) and Lepidoptera and, also, to birds' nests and eggs. His collection of butterflies, collected by him as well as purchased from travellers throughout the world, was one of the largest and most important of his time. He contributed to and published many works on entomology and ornithology and was an accomplished scientific illustrator.
